Words and Music Michelle Wooderson
May its boughs bring you shelter and peace
And your heart grow roots that go down deep
May its red, red berries give you bright notes to sing
May you know love lives in everything
May its broad trunk teach you not to run
When the day falls hard and you’re undone
Hunker down, dear one, hold your ground
May you know that love is all around
May its leaves like moths in flight
Teach your heart to delight
And when you feel its bark
Know the wisdom that protects a tender heart
May you find strength to grow where you are sown
And your seeds bear fruit where wind has blown
And when autumn comes and you have to let go…let go
May you know that love is your true home
